My Project
My students are my kids. I will do anything and everything for them. I will make the impossible possible. I have learned that they will be more engaged and have better behavior when they have the opportunity to make small decisions throughout the day. Giving my students the option to choose where they sit around the room while they work gives them more control over their learning and, in turn, creates a more positive learning atmosphere.
Having different types of seating also allows me to reward students with VIP treatment.
VIP (very important peakster) reaches for the peaks all day, every day, not just in the classroom. The VIP sits at a special table with a comfortable rolling chair. They get to choose someone to sit with them, and they get to use “fancy” school supplies. I would love to be able to make the VIP seating extra special and appealing.
